CR3.5

A Focusrite isn't an amplifier as such. It's a digital audio interface. It converts analog audio to digital and vice versa for computer audio recording and playback. It can be used as a headphone amp but that's not its primary purpose. I would recommend getting him a pair of studio monitor speakers

Normally I wouldn't recommend studio monitors—except in this situation where you are specifically trying to play "quietly." Part of the main problem is you won't get much sub bass which is really key for club DJs to not only get used to but to literally play into the bass. For most beginner DJs I re

If you want something that’ll be a great value, I recommend starting with a Numark mixtrack pro controller, and a set of Mackie CR3.5 speakers. The controller comes with a free (lite) version of Serato software. The laptop you might be able to get a better value used but ultimately you want somethin

Idk about audio array! Had their audio interface before was trash, so avoid. Get mackie cr3.5 3rd gen if you can stretch 1k more or for less hayden. I use presonus eris 3.5 as my pc speakers, while they are not great for studio work, they are very good pc speakers. I would avoid audio array tbh.

My go to is the ddjrev1, beyerdynamics dt770 and the mackie CR 3.5

Mackie CR3.5 - a pair for under $100 would serve you well. Or the Presonus monitors others mentioned 👍

Look at Mackie CR 3.5 monitor speaker system for PC. Add a Mackie sub when you can afford it.

For versatility I would recommend a keyboard amplifier like this KC80 https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/KC80--roland-kc-80-50w-10-inch-keyboard-amp Which can also function as a PA if the player wishes to add vocals or have someone else play another instrument along. If it really is just to amp
